Day two of the 2024 Rogue Strongwoman Invitational began with Inez Carrasquillo atop the leaderboard; she won two of three events on day one. Olga Liashchuck was four points behind her after a consistent first day, as was Angelica Jardine.
The fourth event of the competition was the Power Drive. Each strongwoman had to power drive a 600-pound implement 20 feet, carry a Husafell bag up and down a 20-foot course, and pull a sled 40 feet within the 90-second time cap.
Lucy Underdown won her second event of the Invitational, harmonizing her size and power. She was one of only four strongwoman to finish the event within the time cap.

2024 Rogue Strongwoman Invitational Power Drive Recap
Athletes ran in heats depending on their overall standings at the end of day one. That meant that Belliveau and Moore took to the competition floor for the opening heat. Belliveau took an early lead as Moore struggled to roll the first implement. Belliveau narrowly missed finishing the event within the time cap; Moore didn’t reach the sled pull.
Peacock and Linzay were second on the stage. They both burst through the power drive, and Husafell’d in synchronicity. However, Peacock took no break before the sled pull as she finished the event ahead of Linzay, who could not finish within the time cap.
Thompson and Roberts ran in heat three. Seeing the previous athletes, they knew how much cardio was involved and adjusted accordingly. Roberts was first to the sled pull after a fast power drive and low but steady Husafell pull, leveraging her size. They both finished within the time cap.
Underdown and Jardine knew to leverage their size in the power drive and finished that within 20 seconds. They each jumped into their sled pulls at approximately the same time, but Underdown had the better cardio to close the session with the new time to beat at 1:10.64.
Carrasquillo and Liashchuck ran the final heat. Carrasquillo’s size was a disadvantage as it took her half a minute to finish the power drive, but she made up time in the Husafell carry. Liashchuck closed the heat moments ahead of Carrasquillo to eat into Carrasquillo’s overall lead.
